The $7.1M Milneburg Group B infrastructure improvement project got underway as scheduled in December 2020. Crews began working on water lines on several streets this month, including Marigny Street from New York Street to Robert E Lee Boulevard.; Spain Street from New York Street to Robert E Lee Boulevard; and Mexico Street from Elysian Fields Avenue to Spain Steet.
The scope of work for the project may include:
- Repaving the asphalt roadway from curb-to-curb;
- Patching the roadway with asphalt or concrete;
- Repairing damaged sidewalks and driveway aprons;
- Installing Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant curb ramps at intersections; and
- Replacing / repairing damaged underground water, sewer, and / or drainage lines.
Designed by Design Engineering, Inc., the project is being constructed by Hard Rock Construction Co., LLC, and is expected to be completed in winter 2021, weather permitting.
The City of New Orleans hosted a virtual community meeting via Webex in November 2020 to discuss anticipated impacts to the community. View a copy of the presentation here. For more information about this project and other upcoming work, please visit roadwork.nola.gov or call 504.658.ROAD (7623).
